Christopher Wild, the chairman of the Chemistry, Engineering, Geology, and Physics Department at San Jacinto College recently approached us about their plans for starting an environmental technology program at San Jacinto College.

The purpose of the program would be to enable the student to be ready to work in the industry that we serve, including LDAR tech training, field water/sampling and testing, wastewater monitoring, etc.

They have determined that the best place to start is with an organized LDAR tech training program.

If this is something that you think might have merit, please let us know and we will get you in touch with Christopher Wild.

For 10 years we have been committed to building the best VOC analyzers in the world.

Best starts and stops with the fact that they make our customers’ LDAR efforts easier and more productive. That is why we track our performance and celebrate our success.

As of today, 98.8% of the phx21s and phx42s that we have built are in service. And we are working every day to make them better. On the phx42 we are improving the probe system, the regulator performance and the filter removal detection feature. We don’t rest until we get to 100%- because that’s when we send out brownies!

As we continue our mission of making LDAR fun- again, we occasionally find ways to just make is less aggravating.

We know that wear and tear on backpacks is a constant nuisance, but we are determined to make it better.

We are proud to announce that each backpack comes with a LIFETIME Guarantee from GORUCK, the manufacturer. If it ever fails, they’ll fix it or replace it- guaranteed! Of course, we will apply the required ES treatment protecting against static electricity, required by our intrinsic safety certification.

BUT the best news is the price has been reduced to $166.

In an effort to leverage what we are learning every day about how best to support our phx42 users, we have added a new feature to the Quarterly Level 1 Certification process: an “Influencer Section.”  This new feature is based on the fact that the Level 1 Techs at each of our customer sites are the ones who can have the most positive impact on how their fellow technicians care for and maintain the phx21 and phx42 analyzers at their sites.

With this addition, we will be able to encourage the Level 1 Techs to spread the word about lessons that are being learned at all of our other sites. The goal is to enable you to focus on building value into your LDAR program- not fussing with your equipment.
